The settlement of a class-action lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline, maker of the anti-depressant drug Paxil, resulted in a $48 million fund to reimburse parents or anyone else who bought the drug for someone under age 18.

Trouble is, the deadline to claim your piece of the Paxil pie expires Aug. 31, and what’s left reverts back to GlaxoSmithKline. So instead of taking out ads in newspapers and magazines, Public Citizen went high-tech, posting what’s sort of a get-out-the-vote YouTube video.

One more example of the power of the Intertubes, but geez, couldn’t they have upped the production values a bit?
